Sheffield strip club keeps licence despite opposition by feminist coalition

[stumbledin]

From the way the Guardian reports it (but does anyone think their reporting is unbiased) the undercover filming that campaigners organised has worked against them.

I think the licence will be reviewer again in a year. Have a horrible feeling that if it hadn't been "feminists" campaigning but "local" people the council would have acted differently. The patriarchy likes to be seen to slapping down uppity women.

They didn't even value the opinion of the local Rape Crisis Centre which works nearby.

I don’t think it was mean

Harsh but fair maybe...

Ive been making guests to my house in the evening sing me Christmas carols before i let them in

Its amusing me at any rate

Harsh but fair maybe...

To be fair, if you'd ever hear me sing, you would be harsher...then possibly violent.

One question... which was eventually answered after nearly 40 pages by saying "well, don't know, but you can't shut a club down just because it breaches the rules, what about all the women who want to be strippers?"

Good grief.

You are clearly not on a wavelength that can follow a point here

That clearly goes for a lot of posters on here too.

Good King Wenceslas looked out

On the Field of Mumsnet

And he though, WTF, this thread isn't half full of bollocks

Oh nice one magdalen

Ive got a fireplace dvd

I love it

Push... nearly there. Pop some lavender on your pillow Roses. It'll be done soon.

Jesus suffering Christ, Rose! Ok!

I would not start and end with banning strip clubs. I would start with changing the society that they fucking exist in, that says men can’t be without having the dicks pandered to, and that it’s womens jobs to do the pandering.

As a result of that, strip clubs would likely close, but by then we’d be living in a world where women weren’t objects so it wouldn’t be stopping any one individual from making a living in that one specific way, becausee the concept wouldn’t exist, like being a stoker in a steam engine or something.

Ok?

Aha! God rest thee merry gentlemen...

Id like to say i snorted my drink through my nose...but its drambuie so thats not happening

I did snurk though

I misread that as Bram Stoker in a steam engine. My eyes are going funny now...

Good answer soph

Now off you pop to bed

Some of my favourite carols are the advent ones.

Veni, veni Emmanuel, anyone?

And ransom captive Israel?

Amen.

Or maybe Hallelujah 🎼

Go tell it on the mountain...over the hills and far away...

I don’t remember that one barbara

The veni veni one i mean

Advent is way better than Christmas, tbh. Antici....pation is always better than the result really. Maybe that's Roses philosophy too?

Is it done

Halle-fucking-lujah

No

Two more posts

Who’s gonna finish it

And to all a good night!
